Dilution?
« on: October 18, 2005, 02:06:55 PM »
is there a rate of dilution that can be calculated? for example if u have something  like gas and pour half out and fill it with water and repeat how many times would u have to do it until there is no gas left

Sounds like a simple exponential decay law.

N = No * e^(-ln2 * t)

Where t is the amount of times you've done this process, No is the initial volume and N is the current volume.

.01% is the standard condition for saying something is "gone" that equals to t=10

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
